INDR finds International Hydropower Association Protocol Unacceptable PDF Print E-mail
INDR President Ted Downing appointed and chaired a blue ribbon panel of forced displacement experts to review the draft protocol of the International Hydropower Association (IHA). This protocol is proposed to be used to assess the sustainability of future hydropower projects.  The Panel members -  Michael Cernea, Thayer Scudder, Shi Guoquig, Carmen Garcia-Downing, Susanna Price, Barbara Rose Johnson, Anthony Oliver-Smith, Scott Robinson, Susan Tamondong, Kai Schmidt-Soltau, and Inga-Lill Aronsson - found significant shortcomings and technical errors in the proposed protocol.  So severe were these shortcomings, omissions and errors that any hydropower project using them, as they currently stand, would be unacceptable by international forced displacement standards. The full INDR review is linked here .

ADB Board Revises its IR policy PDF Print E-mail

After considerable debate with NGOs and some members of the INDR, the Asian Development Bank's Board approved  of its revised Safeguard Policy Statement, which includes the first revision of its involuntary resettlement policies since internal and external reviews found them woefully incapable of avoiding development-induced impoverishment.  Earlier on, Ted Downing and Thayer Scudder had asked the Board to revise their policy in light of the research and previous Bank findings on involuntary displacement. See the revised policy and prepare to share your comments with the INDR group.
